A.
Notwithstanding any provisions in the technical codes adopted above, the penalties for violation of this Chapter shall be as follows:
1.
No utility service shall be provided by the City of Glasgow nor by any privately owned utility company which has a franchise to do business within the City of Glasgow unless the building served has passed its inspections and has received a certificate of occupancy as provided in the individual codes and in Chapter 503 of this Code; provided, however, that the Building Inspector may authorize utility service for up to one hundred eighty (180) days for temporary construction and testing.
2.
The City may revoke the business license of any contractor who is working on any project if the builder and/or contractor refuses to comply with the provisions of any of these codes.
3.
The City may issue a stop-work order as provided in the various codes incorporated by reference herein. Any person who continues to work in violation of such stop-work order shall commit an offence against the City of Glasgow, Missouri, and may be arrested for doing such work. It shall be no defense that the person was ordered to do the work by an employer or by a customer.
4.
Any owner, occupant, or user of the property that is in violation of the code shall be guilty of an offense against the City of Glasgow, Missouri, and may be punished as provided in this Code. It shall be no defense that said owner, occupier or user is not the one who ordered the construction or repair work or any other activity which created the violation of the Code, but all owners, occupants and users shall be equally responsible for compliance with these technical codes.
5.
The City may seek injunctive relief if in the opinion of the City doing so is in its best interests. If the City does undertake such injunctive relief, the costs of the City's Attorney shall be an item of cost to be paid by the property owner.
